LANAPOV

lana was at homepacing back and forth in her room. She was completly nervous. Did they really kill Austin? Lana warned tiffany giving him that peanut butter was wrong and to make matters worse Hunter was missing!

Suddenly her phone began to go off

she saw that it was a text from victor saying "you want to hang out at my house at 6pm?"

she texted back sure.

maybe going out with victor will take her mind off of everything

john dropped her off and drove away before she even got to the front door.

she rang the door bell once and almost immedeatly Victor opened the french doors. He was wearing a dark hoodie and jeans.

She stepped inside the doors and said "do you really think we all killed Austin?"

His expression turned serious s he said "it was Tiffany who killed him not us"

he lead her down stairs. They both sat on the couch and started to watch a movie. Lana began to lean her head against Victors shoulder with his arm around her shoulder. But she couldnt stop worrying about Austin and Hunter.

When the movie was over Victor got up to turn on the lights. Lana got up too to strech her legs. She turned around to look at all the pictures collaged on the wall. Some where of Victor as a kid and others were of his brother. One picture caught her eye. It was a picture of stephan with Britney and a few other kids in the woods and they were sitting on a statue. Lana froze she say to many pictures of their school. Statue to know that one was the same one. Lanas pulse quickened. Could victor have known this whole time hia brother was apart of this? It was impossible he didnt.

suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw victor in the door way.

"What are you looking at " he said with a michievious grin. Lana stumbled back.

"What is this?" Lana said as she pointed to the picture.

" well that right there is the statue my brother stole" he said taking a step towards her.

" you knew this whole time and you disn't tell us? My cousins are going to be forced back to Italy!, this statue could save them! Where is it?" Lana said despertaly

" still in the woods only my brother and I know where it is. You see two years ago my brother needed the money because he was in debt for gambling and we wanted to sell the statue but the guy who we were selling it to wanted the whole set meaning the key. We "ve spent years searching for it and now we have it thanks to Hunter !" He grinned

" where is he?" Lana was going to cry victor used them to find the key

" he's dead. My brother buried his body after i hit him in the back of the head with a tree branch"

" why are you telling me this ?" She glared at him

" we'll theres nothing you can really do about it"

"i'm going to tell John about it!"

" i don"t think you're going anywhere, wouldn't be tragic if you died by falling of a cliff? All i would have to do is knock you out and just dump you over a cliff !" Victor said calmy.

lana stood there frozen. She thought of what might happen of she were to fight back but she knew she wouldnt win. Suddenly the door bell rang upstairs.

Victor said "don't think about yelling for help no one will hear you." He than quickly dashed up the stairs and loxked the soor behind him.

lana scanned the room , no windows or phones. She thought of using her phone but she left it in the kitchen upstairs. Lana then quickly rembered there was a small window in the bathroom. But the bathroom door was locked once lana turned the door knob. Lana began to sweat. No this wasn't how she was going to die! Lana thought

lana ran into the door with all her weight and she did that again and again until the door broke down. She climbed onto the toliet and tried to pry the window open. When it was open she quickly squeezed her self through . She was half way out she heard the basment door unlock. She squeezed through even faster and the she was finally out she took off sprinting. She ran into the darkness to her house.
